1. A head-mounted display assembly, comprising:
a first eyecup and a second eyecup configured for respectively supporting a first lens and a second lens, wherein the first eyecup and the second eyecup are movable relative to each other to adjust for the user's interpupillary distance (IPD);
a detent mechanism configured to hold the first eyecup and the second eyecup in two, three, four, or five distinct distances from each other corresponding to two, three, four, or five IPD settings of the first eyecup and second eyecup; and
an IPD indicator configured to indicate a current IPD setting of the two, three, four, or five IPD settings of the first eyecup and second eyecup, wherein the IPD indicator comprises an aperture and a visual indication of the IPD setting that is aligned with and visible through and beneath the aperture.
